Rocky Road Cornflake Cakes

Happy Easter! 

 

Making these made me feel a little bit nostalgic today, I remember making these as a kid at Easter time, melting the chocolate and making a mess as the cornflakes fly out of the bowl all over the side. Then sticking on the chocolate eggs and waiting for them to set in the fridge which always seemed to take ages! This time round and my 21 year old self still made cornflakes go flying everywhere only this time, marshmallows and chocolate chips also went everywhere too, such a messy cook its unbelievable (sorry mum).

  I love rocky roads so I decided to do a little twist on these classics and add mini marshmallows and white chocolate chips to make them extra Eastery! After all chocolate is everywhere this time of year its hard to escape the lures of that one supermarket aisle, you know the one I mean, with all sorts of chocolates and goodies all in egg form. I also added golden syrup to bring the mixture together and to make them extra gooey and sweet. 

These cakes are so easy to make! They take no time at all and require very few ingredients, if your looking for something to make with children this Easter then these are perfect.

Equipment
12 Cupcake Cases
Cupcake Tin
Mixing Bowl

Ingredients (makes 12)
100g Cornflakes
150g Milk Chocolate
20g White Chocolate Drops
30g Mini Marshmallows
2 Tbsp Golden Syrup
Packet of mini eggs

Line the cupcake tin with the cupcake cases.

Melt the chocolate over a pan of simmering water, making sure that it doesn't burn. Once melted take off the heat and leave to cool for five minutes.

Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl, add the white chocolate drops and marshmallows and mix together. Once the chocolate has cooled pour it into the cornflake mixture and mix together with a wooden spoon until all the cornflakes are covered in chocolate and all the ingredients have mixed together. Add in the golden syrup and mix again until well incorporated.

Take a spoonful of mixture and place it into the cupcake cases, repeat until all the cases are full and all the mixture has been equally distributed. Place two chocolate eggs on top of the cornflake cakes and place in the fridge for half an hour to set.
